My two cents:
1. I’ve grepped ("ag-ed" acually) through all my code bases, and as noted
by others, urllib.parse is used in many places. urllib.request never is, as
we've been using requests or httpx instead.
IMHO and for the context I'm using it (YMMV), urllib.parse is useful and
should be kept (

I agree that showing support for type hints is important, as long as this
doesn't convey the counterproductive message that type hints have become
almost mandatory. They are useful in some circumstances, and less so
(specially when dealing with beginners or non-professional programmers) in
others.

I love pipx and I'm glad it exists at this point because it make
The main issue is that each virtualenv takes space, lots of space.
I have currently 57 apps installed via pipx on my laptop, and the 57
environments take almost 1 GB already.

I've run a quick search on GitHub and the only meaningful reference I could
find is the Grail browser (which had its last release, AFAICT, in 1999).

I didn't want to participate in this discussion, but I will, probably for
the following reasons:
- I'm French
- I bought a copy of Strunk & White during my first trip to the US, in
1990, in a desperate attempt to improve my english writing style.

There are specifications for both the runtime and the static aspects of the

Hi,
the description on https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev
reads:
"On this list the key Python developers discuss the future of the language
and its implementation."
I interpret this sentence as "only key (core?) developers are supposed to

My two cents:
Here's a list of "prior arts" that I have collected over the years, besides
attrs, that address similar needs (and often, much more):
